The Newser SL21B Exhibit, And A Few More

 

By Bixyl Shuftan

 

 The Second Life Birthday, the SL21B is over. This year, yours truly wasn't able to get there as often as he wanted. But I still had a little time to get a few pictures. 

As in all but the first SL Birthday's we've covered, the Newser had it's own exhbit, built by Silvia Ametza and her team, at SLB Incredible. 

In the middle was a rotating globe, supported by two arches. 

 

Silvia had set up something for people to guestimate the future of climate change.

 

 

The calculations depend on variables which can change. 

There was a little lost puppy at the build, which would occasionally howl.

There was also an elevator that would take people to the lower, underwater level.

Silvia and her teammates,  Aimeelou Destiny and Kimblecoles Resident did great, as they always have in previous builds.

Before leaving, I would take a few more pictures of some other exhibits. 

French artist Moya had an exhibit there. 

 

See you at next year's SL Birthday.

Still More SLB Exhibits

 

 By Bixyl Shuftan

 

The Second Life Twentieth Birthday has now ended. The Lindens gave it a few more days, but nothing lasts forever. But yours truly went around to take a few pictures. 

One exhibit that got my attention was Caledon's, which gave you a quest to help out it's Catgirl Brigade.

You would go to various characters, sometimes getting gear along the way.

Your objective was to get a piece of crystal for the Brigade, after which you (and they) could go home.

I got some diving gear and a souvenir jacket out of it.

Another that got my attention was Drama Liebre's "Doodletown" cartoonish exhibit.

This camera exhibit for photography in Second Life, "Focus on Photography," I recognized from a previous SLB.

"Racing Through Time"

A list of names, possibly drivers. 

"A Java Island Journey"

There was a similar exhibit just across the road.

"Outpost 3020"

There was quite a lot to see. We may post some more pictures later. It was a great SL20B.

Some SL20B Exhibits

 

 By Bixyl Shuftan

The Second Life Twentieth Birthday, or SL20B, has come to our virtual world, a chance for both Linden Lab and the residents to celebrate our virtual world's anniversary.  Each of the Second Life Birthday events have been special in their own right. This year, two details make it stand out. This is the first SL Birthday event in which there have been adult rated regions, for both exhibits and the Shop and Hop. It's also been the first one that some exhibits from previous anniversary events have returned. 

The Newser had one of it's own, at SLB Fantasy (104/34/24). Built by the talented Silvia Ametza (and assistants), it was about a possible future astronaut base on Jupiter's moon of Europa.

 

There was information about the moon, which is strongly believed to have liquid water underneath the icy surface, and possibly life.

The section of base on the surface looked small. But there was an elevator to go down.

Underneath the ice was the rest of the base, as well as what the larger life forms could be.

We have learned much in our lifetimes about the heavens. But this learning goes back over countless generations to when cavemen looked at the sky and wondered what was out there.

Nearby was the exhibit of "The League of Extraordinary Roleplayers," along with two notable stories by HG Wells represented in an unusual combination. 

 

 
DeniseUnicorn Toonie's "Econocorn Living" exhibit in SLB Beguile.

Bay City's exhibit, also in SLB Beguile.

 

 

"The Fantastic Future of Health," by Serenity (SerenKitty) at SLB Fabulous.

 

 Drama Liebre's "Doodletown" cartoonish exhibit, also in SLB Fabulous. 

One of the pod cars to sit in and get around without walking.

 

That's all for now, but more locations soon.
